LOL at GM trying to keep up with this manufacturer.

You're right. That comment is pretty funny considering they have to up their game to reach Ford before they can think of catching up to RAM.

I hope that it is not too much like the Mercedes. The reports that I have read rank Mercedes cars near the bottom of the reliability list and near the top in cost of ownership. Lexus or even Hyundai might be a more desirable benchmark.

I love the body but I would like to see a more serious hybrid and perhaps some motor updates. If the hybrid could manage a full stop from 60mph at full GCWR I would find it much more compelling.

Im not a fan yet, i’ll have to see one in person.

Maybe it will grow on me, but that grill/headlight arrangement isn't doing it. I like the Rebel though, and maybe the sport package will make it better. Aside from those distractions, the rest seems good. The interior is improved, and that's saying something. The crew cab is longer than before while still being lighter. The new axles help to increase payload, which is quite improved, and desperately needed to compete. I think it's a winner.

Probably just me but the grill doesn't look as big as past years and that can't be good for the HD version. Funny thing is the hood has definitely been designed to clear the EGR pipe of the Cummins.
I wonder if HD RAM will have a totally different looking grill, front end or entire body when the new ones come out.
Has anybody seen the 2020 HD version?

My next RAM will be built here WITH a US Made with ZERO emissions on the Cummins engine.

If Cummins really does come out with the system you have been suggesting, I am sure they will have a lot of new sales.

I still haven't heard about this new engine from anywhere other than you. I hope your source is correct.

It's all aftertreatment under the truck. I am sure someone else can comment on it.

The same as the others I would think.

I finally had time to watch the video.

Any exterior looks are subjective. I like the front end of the Laramie and Long Horn.

That 12" screen is impressive.

I still kind of shake my head on the costs. $67,000 for a loaded 1500. I think the sticker on my 2012 was $65,000. I know that the MSRPs between all 3 trucks are pretty similar, but that just seems expensive to me.

Does not look like anything I would want to own beyond the warranty period. How will this truck fair after 15 or 20 years of use?
